La Méd - Resto Café draws praise for fresh, hearty Mediterranean flavors and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Several reviews highlight generous bowls and plates, good value, and friendly service, with outdoor terrace seating cited as a pleasant feature. Yet there are notes of inconsistency, with some dishes described as flavorful while others are criticized as under seasoned or tasteless, including hummus lacking tahini, a watery tzatziki, and salads with old cucumbers. The grilled Tunisian salad and pita bread receive frequent acclaim, and bowls such as the harissa bowl and Lebanese inspired options are highly recommended. Ramadan and iftar nights are described as memorable for their soups, salads, couscous, and desserts, delivered with warm service, though occasional delays for mains are mentioned. Overall, La Méd - Resto Café is seen as a strong neighborhood addition for a quick lunch or a relaxed meal, with colorful ambiance and attentive staff, while some reviewers call for menu clarity about items being removed and for more environmentally friendly presentation instead of cardboard bowls.
I ordered the Lebanese Ultimate bowl which came with fresh & delish falafel & tabouleh salad. Service was warm & friendly & outdoor terrace seating was perfect on a beautiful day. I will return to try other items on their menu. Wonderful addition to the neighborhood!
Went to eat there for lunch. Disclaimer, the staff was very friendly, but they looked overwhelmed even though the place was kind of empty. I asked for a table & they all had either boxes or crumbs of food in there. Someone from the staff freed one up pretty fast though. Ordered the Mediterranean bowl. It was pretty under seasoned & the chicken was very dry. Rice was okay, but again, lacking salt/seasoning. Upon checking the menu when I left , I saw that they didn't put almonds or raisins in. It was just a $26 (I asked for extra protein) plate with rice & chicken. Overall the dish was fine, but considering I paid $26 plus tip for it, I wouldn't go back.

We wandered across this lunch place as we were walking up from the water. What perfect stop. We had the Tunisian Bowl with Halloumi, & the Mykonos salad with Falafel. The servings were perfect size. The service was fast & friendly. The flavours were well balanced & engaging. I rarely give 5 out of 5 but there is absolutely nothing I would have changed.
Lovely lunch cafe that serves phenomenal salads & bowls that are beautifully presented. We had the salmon bowl & Mykonos salad & both were SO delicious & filling. The Mykonos bowl was so tasty, loved the variety of fresh vegetables, pita & lemon vinaigrette is something I'll def be craving. Looking forward to returning for another healthy lunch soon

Salad was delicious & although the falafel was far too salty for my taste the freshness & authenticity make up for it. I recommend trying this place for yourself. A couple service issues. Order at counter, served to table so there's service to the extent of staff doing what seems helpful. But not a full service restaurant. Coffee was brought without sugar/cream so I asked for sugar. I was brought a sugar bowl with a tiny scoop spoon in it 🥣 that seemed was for behind-the-counter use & not intended for stirring a beverage. May not have been but how do I know if the tiny spoon wasn't used in another beverage & not replaced. Felt unhygienic using it to stir my coffee. Water was offered shortly after the food was served & because of the salty falafel I looked forward to some water. The employee promptly forgot about the water & sat down to eat as it was near closing time 🙄. These are growing pains.
Cutest little resto ever. La Med-resto café is a chic & affordable spot where I got to travel home during the hour spent there. I would highly recommend the exquisite Bowl, especially the Mediterranean one. The waiter was really nice & helpful, the ambiance is very cute, its of a high quality (I really felt healthy afterwards lol). Will revisit very soon!
Après avoir un peu abusé de la poutine & des pizzas, quel bonheur de manger un bowl méditerranéen healthy, délicieux & nourrissant à La Méditerranée. Je recommande ce restaurant pour un lunch dans le vieux Montréal. Mention spéciale aussi au tzatziki qui est très très bon & au thé glacé maison.

Delicious bowls & welcoming staff. This place is a 5/5 stars easily. This is a must try in MTL. We will be back! We had the Cyprus Cesar & a salmon tzatziki bowl.
